Our Snow Day!

Oh, what to do when there's a Blizzard warning in effect, school is closed and the kids restless? Consult Pintrest and find some things to do!!! I came across this the other day, indoor, mess-free finger painting!


It's pretty simple, take a gallon Ziplock bag, pour in some paint, seal, then place a white sheet of paper on the table put Ziplock bag over it and attach to the table with painter's tape. Then let your kids "paint" to their hearts content! (One glitch we found, don't use your nails and scrape the bag...it causes holes! (hence the extra blue tape in spots!)
The kids had alot of fun with it and it is still attached to the table for play again tomorrow. :)

Next on the list...Play outside of course!!!


Do a little shoveling....


A little exploring....

These two were totally loving the first real snow we've had all winter!

This one....not so much....

Needless to say, Drew couldn't wait to get back inside...
Once inside, we warmed up with a steamy cup of hot cocoa, then made some tasty treats for Daddy when he gets home (and the rest of us!)
Nothing like warm Chocolate Chip Cookies fresh out of the oven!!

We then enjoyed some "quiet time" watching "Hook" and relaxing while Drew took an afternoon siesta. :)Here's my happy camper! Drew is so adorable, always so smiley and happy to see me when I come in to get him after a nap. :)

I love days like these when it is filled with fun activities with my kids that bring so much joy into our lives. This is the greatest part of being able to be home with my children, the little things that mean so much and memories that will be cherished for a lifetime. (Hopefully!)
